Answer:

d. Both A & C

Explanation:

- The velocity of the ball is a vector, whose magnitude indicates its rate of change of position, and it has a direction. In this case, the ball is moving upward, therefore the direction of motion is upward, so the direction of the velocity is upward as well.

- The acceleration of the ball is a vector, whose magnitude indicates the rate of change of the velocity. The direction of the acceleration is:

-- positive if the the magnitude of the velocity is increasing

-- negative if the magnitude of the velocity is decreasing

For a ball thrown upward, the acceleration is given by the acceleration of gravity, g=9.8 m/s^2. This acceleration points downward, and it is constant during the entire motion. In particular, it does not change direction, as it is always directed downward. Therefore, the acceleration of the ball is downward.

So, the correct answer is

d.Both A & C

Since A and C are both true:

a.The velocity vector is directed upward.

c.The acceleration is directed downward.

You kick a ball with a speed of 14 m/s at an angle of 51°. How far away does the ball land?
In-s [12.5K]
-- The vertical component of the ball's velocity is 14 sin(<span>51°) = 10.88 m/s

-- The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².

-- The ball rises for 10.88/9.8 seconds, then stops rising, and drops for the
same amount of time before it hits the ground.

-- Altogether, the ball is in the air for (2 x 10.88)/(9.8) = 2.22 seconds
==================================

-- The horizontal component of the ball's velocity is  14 cos(</span><span>51°) = 8.81 m/s

-- At this speed, it covers a horizontal distance of (8.81) x (2.22) = <em><u>19.56 meters</u></em>
before it hits the ground.


As usual when we're discussing this stuff, we completely ignore air resistance.

A mass-spring system has k = 56.8 N/m and m = 0.46 kg.
andriy [413]

Answer:

A. \omega=11.1121\ rad.s^{-1}

B. f=1.7685\ Hz

C. T=0.5654\ s

Explanation:

Given:

  • spring constant, k=56.8\ N.m^{-1}
  • mass attached, m=0.46\ kg

A)

for a spring-mass system the frequency is given as:

\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

\omega=\sqrt{\frac{56.8}{0.46}}

\omega=11.1121\ rad.s^{-1}

B)

frequency is given as:

f=\frac{\omega}{2\pi}

f=\frac{11.1121}{2\pi}

f=1.7685\ Hz

C)

Time period of a simple harmonic motion is given as:

T=\frac{1}{f}

T=0.5654\ s
